Default LIPO WHAT KIND OF PLUF IS THIS

ok here is my problem. I just made the lipo switch. I purchased a trakpower 4900 2 cell 25c (ROAR legal) and a imax b5 lipo balance/charger. the lipo balance uses a 2mm banana plug and then you run the + and - into the charging leads to balance. I got that figured out the problem i'm having is finding out what type and where to buy the plug that goes to the charger. in the pic it is top left slot (for 2 cell) and the second pic is of a soft pack lipo that i found online that I believe has the correct type of plug. the reason i think this is it is because when i researched this charger i found that many rc aviators use this charger and the b6 version which has a built in discharge and their batts plug right in. any help would be great. post on here in case someone else happens to run across this same problem.

Just find an extra balance harness for 2 cell. And make one with 2mm banana plugs.

Hope this helps.

Plug looks like a JST-XH. May also be called Align/equinox/hextronik/electrifly.
Can get adapters for some connector types, like this
You will want a male JST to female trakpower adapter. If you can't find one you could make one using this, just make sure you wire it correctly.

Or if your lazy like me

TrakPower makes the V balancer which has the right connectors... But if you have a normal balancer, then def make it, looks nice and easy
